Healthy Meal: Quinoa with Cranberries, Walnuts, and Kale

cooking / Leave a Comment

Bonus lunch meal day! Because I cooked for a friend last night, and therefore didn’t have leftovers, I had to whip something up this morning to bring for lunch today. I opted for quinoa with a few ingredients stirred in. I found this ingredient combination online a while ago (no idea where though – maybe YumSugar?) and have had it saved for a while to try. It was super easy, super delicious, super nutritious, and a great way to use up more of the leftover uncooked kale from last night. Because there’s no official recipe, here are my directions:1. Rinse …

Healthy Meal: Oregon Style Pork Chops with Pinot Noir and Cranberries

cooking / Leave a Comment

The last few recipes I’ve posted have been super low-calorie. Although I try to cook healthy, my definition of healthy is really just cooking for myself, using natural ingredients (not processed foods), limiting fats/sugars, and making healthy substitutions for some of the worst ingredients. This recipe definitely has a lot more calories than other things I’ve posted so far, but it’s still very good, and has a lot of great nutrients. Tonight’s recipe was Oregon Style Pork Chops with Pinot Noir and Cranberries, Oregon Hash with Wild Mushrooms, Greens, Beets, Hazelnuts and Blue Cheese, Charred Whole Grain Bread with Butter …

Healthy Meal: Grilled Mahi Mahi Fillet and Asparagus with Orange and Sesame

cooking / 2 Comments

My apartment-guest for the weekend met up with another friend for dinner, which gave me the chance to cook something healthy instead of going out to eat! Hurray. I wanted something as low-cal and healthy as possible after my pizza binge last night (and with another night of drinking planned for tonight). I was thinking of just grilling some fish and pairing it with some broccoli, but instead found this great recipe that’s very similar to that and very simple. Here is my attempt at an elegant presentation, though it’s nowhere near as cool as the official picture on the …

Healthy Meal: Black Bean Soup

cooking / 1 Comment

This is one of my favorite recipes, and today I made it in record time! Fourteen minutes to chop the veggies and put everything in the pot, then I did the 20 minute arms segment of “Tank Top Arms, Bikini Belly, Boy Shorts Bottom” while it cooked. Easy, easy, easy! I was a little concerned when I came back, because it was much redder than usual, but I realized I usually do two cans of black beans instead of one (the recipe calls for three, but I cut it in half, and I usually don’t like to save half a …

Healthy Meal: Scarlet Snapper with Field Peas and Snaps

cooking / Leave a Comment

This recipe was probably the easiest I’ve made. Unfortunately, not that tasty. However, I think I attribute that to personal taste rather than the actual recipe. Basically, you chop up some peppers and onions, toss them in a baking dish, lay a piece of snapper on top, splash some Worcestershire sauce on top, and then put a bit of butter on (I used a quick spray of Pam instead). Pop it in the oven for 20 mins, put a bit of parmesan on (you’re supposed to use real cheese, not the powdered kind, but I didn’t have it so I …
